President Obama to hold Twitter town hall at 2 p.m. ET today

Barack Obama continues to embrace technology. Today he will hold a “town hall” meeting at 2pm Eastern on Twitter, seemingly as a response to a number of questions posed to him on the social network about middle class tax cuts.

Middle-class tax cuts have been a hot button issue in discussions around the U.S. Federal budget and the “Fiscal Cliff.” He is currently rallying to extend tax cuts on the middle-class and perhaps instill some hope in the New Year. Republicans in Congress are not in favor of extending tax-cuts for the middle-class only and are concerned this would mean higher taxes on higher earners.

Two hours ago at the time of writing this post Obama tweeted, “Congress can act — right now — to stop taxes from going up on middle-class families. Tell them why they should #My2K” with a link to his website.

Obama has been very tech-savvy in both his presidency and the campaign leading up to his re-election. He recently held a similar question and answer session on popular social sharing site Reddit. You can see a picture of him proving that he was on Reddit above. The event was so popular, it knocked Reddit offline for many visitors.
